Chapter 1992

Xiangjiang!

"The Japanese devils are really shameless enough."

Hearing Xiao Yunfang's report, Yuan Wanqi cursed, though she wasn't too angry.

Sony's reaction was expected long ago; it's just that she didn't expect the little devils to be so shameless.

"Communicate with the major media and say that Qiudongfang will not accept any capital acquisition, and the lawsuit against Sony for infringement will not be changed."

Xiao Yunfang nodded thoughtfully: "Will the Japanese government really abandon the stock market for the sake of Jusen and the bond market?"

Yuan Wanqi elegantly crossed her legs, gently rocking her comfortable swivel chair, with a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.

"Of course. Jusen is a tool for Japanese Ministry of Finance officials to amass wealth. How could those Japanese politicians sit idly by?"

"As for the bond market, dumping 500 billion yen in government bonds this afternoon was just a small test. If the Japanese government hasn't made a corresponding reaction by tomorrow, then we will decisively abandon the stock market and concentrate our firepower to smash Japan's bond market completely."

"But I believe that as long as the brains of those Japanese politicians aren't broken, they will absolutely not easily abandon the bond market. Because if the stock market collapses, it's the stockholders' money that is lost, but if the bond market collapses, the Japanese government goes bankrupt."

"In addition, if there is a problem with the bond market, the exchange rate will definitely plummet. At that time, we will see a developed capitalist country with an average annual income of 4 to 6 million yen. It's like the Soviets in 1991—denominated in dollars, yet the whole country is full of paupers."

Yuan Wanqi raised her head slightly, her gaze falling on Xiao Yunfang.

"Among the three major global bubbles, Japan's bond market bubble is the most fragile and the most lacking in buffer space. Especially against the backdrop of the current economic crisis Japan is facing, various scandals are emerging one after another, causing the entire market to fall into chaos."

"If it weren't for the worry that the Americans would intervene, those greedy vampires on Wall Street probably wouldn't have stopped at the testing stage this afternoon; they would have undoubtedly smashed the Japanese bond market in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Wanqi's mouth.

"A country lacking resources, a country with serious industrial hollowing—it could have relied on its highly developed financial system to live a prosperous life."

"But its legs were broken by its American daddy, who also tightly choked their necks, leaving them only able to linger on. If it were just this, it wouldn't be anything; once the American daddy is full, he would naturally loosen his hand from their necks."

"But they aren't living up to expectations. Whether it's manufacturing or the financial industry, even the Ministry of Finance frequently reports scandals. Under such circumstances, when the Ponzi digital game reaches its end, what kind of ending it will be—let's watch slowly."

…………………………

The next morning, sunlight spilled onto the earth through the clouds, illuminating all of Tokyo.

However, on this seemingly calm morning, an important press conference was being held at the Japanese government.

And the person presiding over this press conference was none other than Chief Cabinet Secretary Fujii. This old devil stood on the podium, scanning the dozens of media reporters at the venue with a blank expression.

First, he said some painless welcoming remarks, then cut to the main topic.

He told the Japanese people with a firm tone that the great Japanese government would definitely be able to repay its national debt on time every year, and its credit rating had always been maintained at a very high level—there is no doubt about it.

The Japanese bond market looks terrifying and looks like it is crumbling, but it is indestructible.

These words were intended to stabilize public sentiment and let everyone believe that Japan's economic situation was not that bad.

In addition, he announced a series of positive news, including measures such as adjusting government bond interest rates.

These measures did indeed bring a glimmer of hope and confidence to many people, but the news that Fujii announced next caused an uproar in the entire venue.

No one expected that the government would actually inject 680 billion yen of public tax funds into an already bankrupt Jusen company.

This decision not only made it difficult for ordinary people to understand and accept, but even the Japanese reporters attending the press conference expressed shock and anger.

Fujii, this cunning old devil, worried about becoming the target of public criticism, didn't even give reporters a chance to ask questions before hurriedly fleeing the press conference scene.

Everyone, whether it was Fujii himself or those high-ranking officials of the central bank, had anticipated that this decision would trigger strong public dissatisfaction when they made it, but they severely underestimated the public's anger.

Just one hour later, a large-scale public protest broke out. Tens of thousands of angry citizens held up signs saying "Don't use our tax money" and gathered at the entrance of the Ministry of Finance to express their dissatisfaction and protest against the government's decision.

As time passed, the protesting crowd continued to grow, and the situation gradually worsened. The National Police Agency of Japan had to take emergency action, sending nearly a thousand fully armed police officers to the scene in an attempt to maintain order.

At the same time, a shocking piece of news exploded like a bomb among the protesters: the eight directors of Jusen were actually former bureaucrats of the Ministry of Finance.

This news spread to every corner, like adding fuel to the fire, further stimulating the public's anger. They condemned these former bureaucrats one after another for using their power for personal gain, which led to Jusen's bankruptcy and ultimately made the taxpayers pay the bill.

The protesters shouted and roared, demanding that the government thoroughly investigate the matter and severely punish those greedy bureaucrats. As the protesting crowd continued to grow and its influence expanded, the previously stable stock market was hit hard, and even the foreign exchange market fell by 3.6% in just half an hour.

There were also sell orders in the bond market, but because of the positive news announced in the morning and the interest rate adjustment, there weren't many sell orders, and they were all swallowed by the central bank, stabilizing the bond market.

As for Sony stock, because of the news report that Qiudongfang refused the acquisition, it had already fallen below 1,000 yen before the morning close, hitting a new historical low.

…………………………

Qiudongfang!

More than a hundred traders were busy in front of their computers when a girl shouted excitedly.

"Japan has abandoned the stock market. We won."

Yuan Wanqi, who was standing behind them, laughed and let out a long sigh of relief; the heart that had been hanging for the past few days could finally be put back into her stomach.

"Everyone, keep a close eye on Sony. As long as it drops below 600 yen, start buying at the bottom. Our boss is very interested in Sony. How much bonus you can get depends on whether our boss can become a director of Sony."

Yuan Wanqi is also very excited now. Sony has been plotting against Yuzhou Technology, but suddenly one day, Zhou Andong, the enemy, suddenly became a director of Sony. She wonders what kind of expression the little devils have.
